I think that @JoeMendozawould be great as Miss Universe!

I consider 50 degrees cold!

Perhaps they should have a Fossill Ball, where us geezers could compete for titles, and the winners would go on to match up against the younger winners. Besides having an element of sadism, you might actually find a geezer who could still hold his own!

I recommend that guys look at the older thread too as it contains many positive stories of this brilliant, even blessed, masseur.

Cold weather will likely be heading this way in January.

What was wrong with the existing thread? https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/122713-blessings-from-rentmasseur-nyc/#comment-1711278

Now in LA.

Mathew is now 49 and has been absent from porn for years. He did run into some drug problems and was ordered into rehab in 2018.

I always expect posters here to have values and a mindset that we should not resort to the lowest form of the language,

I simply don't like dogs being called f-----g dogs. So bite me.

Arab countries are banning the movie due to the LGBTQ character. https://nypost.com/2021/12/06/west-side-story-banned-in-saudi-arabia-kuwait-due-to-lgbtq-role/ All the more reason to see it!

Does @Jarrod_Uncuthave more problems working as an escort than other escorts, or is he just more verbal about it?

@Rod HagenSo it's a "fucking" pet and a "fucking" shelter? You a little fixated?

Why not just say Spielberg without being so cute?

Remember former porn actor Simon Rex? Yeah, it's been a while. But now he is being lauded for a film performance in a low-budget production of Red Rocket, and he is featured in the current Wall Street Journal magazine: https://www.wsj.com/articles/simon-rex-red-rocket-interview-11638797588?mod=hp_listc_pos2 A sample, in case you hit the paywall: Red Rocket, his new film, which was shot in late summer 2020 and is out December 10, tells the story of an aging porn star named Mikey Saber who returns home to East Texas broke and bruised but already angling for a way back to Hollywood. Saber is a lot to handle; he runs his mouth nonstop, bragging about the adult film awards he’s won; and when he meets a 17-year-old girl at a local doughnut shop, he begins grooming her for a career in porn. The fact that the audience finds itself rooting for this character is a testament to Rex’s performance. As Variety put it after the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to a standing ovation: “It’s Okay Academy: You Can Nominate Simon Rex for Best Actor for ‘Red Rocket.’”

It isn't great, but is likable. The SF Chronicle writes about it positively (paywall): https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/movies-tv/review-single-all-the-way-might-be-the-first-truly-gay-holiday-movie sfgate.com kind of likes it too: https://www.sfgate.com/streaming/article/Netflix-Single-All-Way-review-Jennifer-Coolidge-16672634.php

I found the movie moderately interesting. I did skip through some of the songs...meaning fast forward, not literally skipping! Also: Academy Award nominee Andrew Garfield, who portrayed theater composer Jonathan Larson in "tick, tick…BOOM!" will receive the Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actor at the Palm Springs International Film Awards. The Film Awards will take place in person on Jan. 6, 2022, at the Palm Springs Convention Center, with the film festival running through Jan. 17. The 2021 festival and film awards were canceled last November due to the COVID-19 pandemic. desertsun.com

The first openly transgender mayor in the US has died. His story amazed me: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/03/us/politics/stu-rasmussen-dead.html?action=click&module=Well&pgtype=Homepage&section=US Politics Stu Rasmussen, who in 2008 became what is believed to be the first openly transgender mayor in America, died on Nov. 17 at his home in Silverton, Ore., where he had served in various elected offices for the better part of 30 years. Mr. Rasmussen, who identified as a woman but typically used masculine pronouns, was 73. His wife, Victoria Sage, said the cause was prostate cancer. Silverton, an agricultural community with about 9,200 residents and a jewel box of a downtown, sits about an hour south of Portland and a half hour east of Salem, the state capital. Despite an influx of people that tripled the population since Mr. Rasmussen was young, it was hardly the sort of place one might expect to find such a pathbreaking politician. But Mr. Rasmussen defied many conventions, gender being just one of them. He belonged to both the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Rifle Association. He was socially progressive but fiscally conservative, and he butted heads with growth-oriented city leaders when he blocked new subdivisions or upgrades to local infrastructure. He was intensely private — but also, according to Oregon Encyclopedia, “easily the most recognized person in the community,” a fact established long before he went public with his new gender identity, in 1998. A lifelong resident of Silverton, he was an engineer and entrepreneur who brought cable TV to the town in the 1970s — often wiring customers himself — and remained a reliable Mr. Fix-It for his neighbors, the person they called to repair a janky fuse box or a buggy computer. He also co-owned and operated Silverton’s only first-run movie theater, the Palace. He sold the tickets, served the popcorn, ran the projector and often stood out front dressed as a character from whatever film was showing inside. He entered politics in the mid-1980s, first on the City Council and then for two two-year terms as mayor, both times identifying as a man. He ran unsuccessfully for the State Legislature, twice, before returning to Silverton politics in 2004, this time as a woman. By then, the community had largely come to accept his new identity. “Nobody really cared,” Kyle Palmer, the current mayor of Silverton, said in an interview. “Everyone knew him, so that part of him didn’t get a reaction.” He served two terms on the council before running again for mayor in 2008, defeating an eight-term incumbent and drawing international headlines for taking to the hustings in high heels and a low-cut blouse. Three weeks after the election, members of the Westboro Baptist Church, a religious group in Topeka, Kan., known for staging hate-filled, antigay protests at military funerals and other ceremonies, held a small rally in Silverton, where they lofted signs condemning Mr. Rasmussen and the town. But an even larger number of locals turned out for a counterprotest. Some 200 people, including several men who had dressed in women’s clothing for the occasion, held their own signs, reading “Jesus Loves Stu” and “Stu Rocks.” The encounter, which also drew national attention, later inspired a musical, “Stu for Silverton,” which debuted in Seattle in 2013. Despite his celebrity, Mr. Rasmussen spent his second stint as mayor, from 2009 to 2015, with his head down, focused on the sort of issues that undergird most of life in small-town America. He built a skate park and a senior center. He established an early-warning system at a nearby dam. He ran City Council meetings. He was, in most ways that mattered, no different from any other politician, and the town treated him that way. “A lot of people who are transgender think, ‘I can’t be myself here. I have to go somewhere else, go to Portland or to San Francisco, and let the other side of me come out,’” he told The Salem Statesman-Journal in 2015. “I transitioned in place. And the community came along with me.” Stewart Alan Rasmussen was born on Sept. 9, 1948. His father, Albert, was a Danish immigrant who at various points in his life panned for gold, delivered mail and managed the Palace Theater. His mother, Nan (Dowling) Rasmussen, was a homemaker. Stu received an associate’s degree in electrical engineering in 1971 from what is now Chemeketa Community College, in Salem, after which he spent nearly eight years working for a tech company in Beaverton, a western suburb of Portland. It was the only time in his life he lived outside Silverton. Mr. Rasmussen began dating Ms. Sage in the mid-1970s, and they married in 2014. She is his only survivor. Though he was considered a pillar of the community, by the mid-2010s many people in Silverton had soured on his leadership, which some felt was heavy handed and too conservative. He lost re-election in 2014, as well as a comeback attempt in 2018, against Mr. Palmer, who had taken office in 2017. He continued to run the Palace Theater until early 2020, when the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic hit the Pacific Northwest. A few months later, he called Mr. Palmer to tell him he had terminal cancer. “He was a thoughtful force for what he thought was good for Silverton,” Mr. Palmer said. “His legacy is as someone who gave everything he could in the time that he had.”

I have noticed that just about every year someone posts about World Aids Day but few people even look at it. Here we have 53 views. I guess it is only the older posters who have an interest, having lived through this tragic time. But I would hope younger people would pay attention to it as well, as many lessons ca be learned. Look at past threads and see how few replies the topic gets. Sad. https://www.companyofmen.org/search/?q=World AIDS&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=79

Here is a long article with just about everything you might want to know about poppers. For one, it costs about one dollar to make a bottle of it, and, two, it's pretty much all the same despite the price you pay for it. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davidmack/poppers-factory

There are new photos of Sam Asghari in today's NY Post. I do think he is the sexiest man alive! https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.WmlNv0rbE6vjw1jP0pnE3wHaKX%26pid%3DApi&f=1

Javier Baez to the Tigers. Who will take on Correa's large value? And the Yankees seem so uninterested in this market.

So after a few hours you would stop using them?

Nothing illegal, Officer!

You said: "What about traditional clubs or a dance club where I could grind away with my hands on an Asian boy" No wonder there is confusion.
